About Me
My path has been driven so far by my interests in technology and the human mind. The daughter of an electrical engineer and a librarian, I have been tinkering with computers and gadgets since as long as I can remember. In high school I was a volunteer webmaster for my school’s website, which soon led to a part-time job at a web design agency.
At university I fell in love with psychology and became fascinated by how the mind adapts (for better or worse) to stimuli within an environment. Being very analytical and curious, I also realised that research was something I wanted to pursue as a career.
The Master’s course in HCI at University College London has taught me to apply my research skills to design projects in a commercial setting. For my thesis project, I was interested in how the visual style of information influenced driving performance and how information can be better designed to reduce distraction.
Nowadays I am interested in designing interfaces that support the way we perceive and process information. Following a contract role at Orange Labs, R&D UK, I have extended my knowledge in the mobile domain to the development of multi-platform financial software at Thomson Reuters.
